Gluten, Dairy & Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin pie has always been my favourite dessert on Thanksgiving, especially the next morning, cold out of the fridge. In my typical fashion, I found a way to make a delicious dessert in a health conscious way, because I refuse to live a life without my pumpkin pie 😛

So here is my pumpkin pie, free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar!
Crust
- 2 cups of gluten free flour (i used 1.5 cups of almond flour, and 1/2 cup of coconut flour)
- 1/2 cup melted ghee
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup of water (or enough to make a good doughy consistency
- 2 packs of stevia
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- mix, and then line pie dish with crust, bake at 350 for 10 minutes to par bake before putting filling in
Filling
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 eggs
- cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg (pumpkin pie spice) – about 1/2 tsp each, a little more cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- vanilla extract tsp-ish
- stevia or dates – to taste (depends how sweet you want it)
- blend it up & pour it in the par baked crust (if you use dates, you may want to soak and blend them first before adding it into the mix).
- cook at 425 for 15 minutes
- cook at 350 for another 40 minutes
A great addition would be some ice cream – homemade of course:
- frozen bananas
- tahini
- vanilla extract
- cacao beans
- blend and enjoy – actually tastes like cookies and cream ice cream, no joke
